iwlegacy: fix bugs in change_interface
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If change_interface gets invoked during a firmware
restart, it may crash; prevent that from happening
by checking if ctx->vif is assigned.

Additionally, in my initial commit I forgot to set
the vif->p2p variable correctly, so fix that too.
